EBW is a 跌打酒 diédǎjiǔ/dit da jow (aka "Hit Wine") with roots thousands of years old in martial arts practice. Hard training to protect your family brings martial skill and... sometimes some injuries. Classically after training, hit wines would be applied to bruises or strains to speed up recovery.

In the modern clinic, we often recommend it for acute and chronic pain of many kinds: Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Tendinopathy, Neuropathy (you can add it to the Tibetan Foot Soak!), Low Back Pain, Neck pain...and more! The list goes on and on.

Little known fact: you can also spritz it on an insect bite and it can relieve the itch!

You can use it before exercise to help warm up areas that may be sore or stiff. The warmth & deep penetration help improve circulation almost immediately.

Kung Fu schools used to keep their best formulas top secret but in the 20th century some of these started to become mass-produced. Sadly, with industrial production came lower quality. They even stopped including the most powerful herbs.

Lucky for us, Saint Apothecary took the most popular formula and brought the standards back up.
